The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is: cw1200_tx_confirm_cb (acquire the lock by spin_lock) __cw1200_cqm_bssloss_sm cancel_work_sync --> may sleep cw1200_cqm_bssloss_sm __cw1200_cqm_bssloss_sm cancel_work_sync --> may sleep To fix it, the lock is released before cancel_work_sync, and the lock is acquired again after this function.
